chkpib2(1)                                   Qualcomm Atheros Open Powerline Toolkit                                  chkpib2(1)

NAME
       chkpib2 - Qualcomm Atheros PLC Parameter File Inspector

SYNOPSIS
       chkpib2 [options] file [file] [...]

DESCRIPTION
       This  program  checks Atheros HomePlug AV parameter files for obvious errors, including obsolete format, wrong file size,
       bad checksums and read errors.  It makes no attempt to check internal information other than file length and checksum.

       This program handles both the older Thunderbolt and Lightning and the newer Panther and Lynx parameter file formats.   It
       validates files directly from memory and so it is faster than program chkpib but needs more memory at runtime.

       This  program  is  part of the Qualcomm Atheros Powerline Toolkit.  See the AMP man page for an overview and installation
       instructions.

OPTIONS
       -m     Display manifest content, if present.  The manifest is a special module, included in some image chains, that  con‐
              tains useful information about the chain.  This option suppresses the summary 'looks good' message.

       -q     Suppresses printing of progress messages.

       -v     Print additional information such as the PIB header for each file processed.  This information can be used to con‐
              firm pib version and distinguish one PIB file from another.

       -?,--help
              Print program help summary on stdout.  This option takes precedence over other options on the command line.

       -!,--version
              Print program version information on stdout.  This option takes precedence over other options on the command line.
              Use  this option when sending screen dumps to Atheros Technical Support so that they know exactly which version of
              the Linux Toolkit you are using.

ARGUMENTS
       file   The name of a runtime parameter file.  By convention, runtime parameter files have a .pib extention but this  pro‐
              gram does not enforce that convention.

DISCLAIMER
       Qualcomm  Atheros  parameter  file structure and content is proprietary to Qualcomm Atheros, Ocala FL USA.  Consequently,
       public information is not available.  Qualcomm Atheros reserves the right to change parameter file structure  or  content
       or change the name or behavior of any program that inspects or changes parameter files, in future software releases with‐
       out any obligation to notify or compensate users of such programs.

EXAMPLES
       The next example reads file abc.pib and validates it.  The message shown indicates that the PIB version  is  recent,  the
       file is the correct size, the checksum is valid computes and there are no read errors.

          # chkpib2 abc.pib
          abc.pib looks good

       The  next  example  reads  three files and reports on each one.  You can suppress good news with the -q option.  Remember
       that &quot;looking good&quot; does not mean &quot;is good&quot;.

          # chkpib2 INT6400.pib AR7400.pib AR7420.pib
          INT6400.pib looks good
          AR7400.pib looks good
          AR7420.pib looks good

       The next example reads three files and displays selected information about each one because option -v is present.

       This example prints the manifest found inside newer parameter files.  This can be used  to  distinguish  parameter  files
       from  firmware  files, determine exact firmware or parameter file revisions and so forth.  Observe that we specified sev‐
       eral files on the command line but only one file, AR7420.pib, contained a manifest.
